Not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for, but this is how I handle sections and page numbering. I am not getting the page number from the user, I am just starting at 1, but once you capture that input, the logic should be the same. My page prefix is an instance var called sectionNumber, so the page number would be something like 1-1, 1-2 etc. var newDocSection = myDocument.sections.add(myDocument.pages[0]); newDocSection.continueNumbering = false; newDocSection.pageStart = myDocument.pages[0]; newDocSection.pageNumberStyle = PageNumberStyle.arabic; newDocSection.sectionPrefix = this.sectionNumber+"-"; newDocSection.pageNumberStart = 1; newDocSection.includeSectionPrefix = true; Hope that helps.
